Cardstock Verdict Is In!

The last posting I complained that I had not tried a good cardstock that works with Copic markers. Well, I have found one thanks to Sally Lynn MacDonald who taught the certification class. It is Simply Smooth White by Prism. It is great!! It has a really smooth finish. It takes the Memento stamping ink well and does not bleed your Copic markers which was the major complaint with the others I tried. The Simply Smooth paper was in Sally Lynn's sample paper packet which also included Neenah Classic Crest White which I abslutely did not like-too much bleed. So there you have it. Look online and purchase a few sheets. I know you will be satisfied.

First Copic Since Cert. Class

Okay the studio is up and running! My first "to do" was making a Copic card practicing blending. It went very well! I have to say Memento ink does work the best (I've tried several). As for paper, I do not like any of the cardstocks I have tried. If anyone knows of a good one, please inform me. What I like best is color copy paper from an office supply store. It cost a bit more than regular copy paper but is worth it. I wanted to make a sassy card so here it is!-Stamps by Stamping Bella and My Favorite Things.

Completed Copic Certification!

Hello, all. I am excited to say that I completed the Copic certification class yesterday in Ohio with Sally Lynn MacDonald! It was a great experience. I will be playing around with the techniques for a while so look for new Copic projects posted soon. I recently moved and I am in the process of unpacking everything as well as wrapping up the school year. Please be patient with me because this summer is going to be a great one filled with all sorts of new projects. Here is a photo of a card I made a while back using dimensional paste and a brass stencil.
